So he will change the staging? Of course he will... as far as I can remember there was hardly anything one could call "staging" in Sanremo.
A new version? I am intrigued! I already really like Soldi, but this is also the kind of song that can easily have 1 or 2 revamps or other versions and still be interesting - or even more so!

No one said he will bring a new version of the song.
"I'll bring new elements because I don't want to do something already done, it's boring for me. On a scenic level, but also in the way of proposing the piece ... we'll see."
New elements =/= New version

Have a hard time connecting with this one and I cannot quite figure out why. It sounds modern, fresh, kinda reminds me of Lorde and the Soldi part is super catchy, so I definitely see why people like it. Guess it just doesn't fit my personal taste after all. Great entry nonetheless, maybe it'll grow on me til May. 8 points from me so far.

It's just a really cool refreshing excellent quality song and I'm very excited about it going to Eurovision, because you can't really predict how receptive people will be to it, since it's very unique from Italy and tbh beyond 2019. They almost always do well with the televotes, but have mostly had fairly safe entries with some sort of classic Italian quality that people are apparently guaranteed to like, so I'm interested to hear the over-all response to it. I still can't believe it completely passed me by before his win though. 
I practically love every part of it and I think I love the song structure most of all, because it all just works fantastically, but I also really, really like his voice and I've just realised exactly how much, voices and vocal deliveries like his are my favourite, he reminds me of Marco Mengoni in that aspect tbh, who probably is my all-time favourite male vocalist, it's these cutting voices with character and a level of sass that I can't get enough of (but tbh there's also just something really satisfying about clear passionate Italian diction that most of their artists have, so that probably contributes to it, this whole song is inexplicably satisfying though

Why would they? They already knew there had to be a new version of the song because of the 3 minute rule. They might as well wait for the final version.
Besides, I'm pretty sure Eurovision doesn't just upload the performances like that. It is the broadcaster that has to send the video first.

of unique Italian artists like mahmood we have in industrial quantities, only that he is not interested in participating in eurovision.
Italy is not just IL VOLO and Sanremo style songs.
I believe that the Italian music scene has nothing to envy to the Anglo-Saxon one, only that it is not very commercial outside the Italian borders.
This message is to specify that Sanremo is not the entire Italian music scene and Mahmood is not an exception as you think

Of course. I am very aware of Italian music outside of Sanremo & I listen to a lot of Italian artists, a lot of them indie, and I highly respect the Italian music scene in its entirety. My point was how it's unique for Italy in the Eurovision context, as many people have pointed out. I don't know why you'd assume otherwise (but I guess it's true a lot of people aren't so aware if all they know indeed is Sanremo/Eurovision).
I need to upgrade it to again to 10 points. It's my favorite so far, I'm astonished to see how much it grew on me, I though I would get tired of it but no, it's the contrary.
Maybe Italy will my favorite two times in a row.

For me this song is better of SOLDI
Gioventu' bruciata (Wasted Youth)
What do they even know about violence
squeezed between a couple marriages where those who love have got to pay and those who don't just think it over
What do they even know about the Sphynx
I saw it at eight with you laughing and laughing but I've been told
That sometimes laughing is like faking
You used to put on your Arabic songs in the car
sang out of tune and then told me old-fashioned tales
You used to run in the desert with your Invicta rucksack on but
Running has no point if beside money you're short of breath and happiness
There's something I can't figure out
Like diving into the Red Sea
I forgot it way too soon
But I do remember when you told me "I'm staying around"
Lost in a messed-up life
If you think about it I made it hard for myself
The same phone call of yours over and over
The hell with this wasted youth of yours
What do they even know about leaving
If farewells were fashionable you would be number one on trending
I used to play in the car with Nintendo and Pokémon
And you complained if I didn't feel like talking to you anymore
You used to open the window to drop the ash
There's no point in hiding the shit I already know behind a smile
There's something I can't figure out
Like diving into the Red Sea
I forgot it way too soon
But I do remember when you told me "I'm staying around"
Lost in a messed-up life
If you think about it I made it hard for myself
The same phone call of yours over and over
